Fitz Hall is fit to retain his place in the QPR defence ahead of Saturday's clash against Championship strugglers Scunthorpe at Loftus Road.The centre-half came off during Tuesday night's 3-2 win over Blackpool as a precaution following his recent groin injury, but he will be available to boss Luigi De Canio.

Midfielder Martin Rowlands has been carrying a hip injury of late, but he will continue to play through the pain barrier.

Winger Hogan Ephraim is therefore Rangers' only absentee as he serves the second game of his three-match ban following his sending off at Sheffield Wednesday last weekend.

Gavin Mahon, Angelo Balanta, Kieran Lee and Gareth Ainsworth will all come into contention should De Canio opt to shuffle his pack following their midweek exertions.
